Here I sat with Paddington Bear’s cousin & ate a bowl of aristocratic beans-where was I?
Looking for an answer to a quiz question.
Update:The only reference I can find to 'aristocratic beans' is Greek Giant Beans - but apart from the fact there used to be dancing bears in Greece I cant find any other link.

well, Paddington is from "darkest Peru" so I assume his cousin - the speckled bear (only bear in South America) is there too. Aristocratic beans? Lima beans are also from Peru - though I don't know what would make them aristocratic. So, my answer is Lima, Peru.
I just found this quote:
"In Huanchaco, Peru, I met Gail Ryser, an archaeology student working on a doctoral dissertation on lima beans (known in Peru as pallares) as indicators of social relations in the Moche valley. Her preliminary research confirmed that lima beans were mostly consumed by the ruling elite."
So, I am sticking with my answer of Lima, Peru.
Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Lima, Peru as well. The character Paddington Bear doesn't have a cousin - only an Aunt that resides in a retirement home in Lima, Peru. He was sent from "Darkest Peru" to London, where he was found and adopted by the Brown family.
A spinoff of the movie 'Fantasia'?
Otherwise, I have no earthly idea.
